YouTube - Extreme Gliding
By the way, Backpacker has summed gliding up as well as anyone could, it's about flying for the sheer sake of it. Plus a good flight on a good day will wring you out, it's an extremely skilled sport. Gliders are easy to fly, they are maddeningly difficult to fly well. Bit like golf really.
